Student Story Project
As we come together as students and openly express our beliefs and backgrounds, prejudice, bigotry, and ignorance dissipate. We begin to see each other and our world in a different light; together, our stories make a clearer picture of ourselves and our university.
Grace A. Tanner Lecture in Human Values
The Grace A. Tanner Center for Human Values provides the focal point of the prestigious annual Grace Adams Tanner Lecture in Human Values that seeks to promote scholarly and scientific learning in all areas of human values which embrace moral, artistic, intellectual, and spiritual concepts.
“[We] commit ourselves every single day to continue to show up, to not only see the world outside us, but to see and cherish the world within ourselves. It is in that connection where we soften from this place of viewing each other as the stranger or as the Other, to this place of empathy where we see my pain as your pain, and your joy as my joy.”
-2019 Human Values Lecturer Vijay Gupta
